Rejection - a poem


Rejection
----Big Frank Dickinson

Rejection like a reflection
Always comes back to you.
The unanswered phone call
Calls you back in silence.
The discarded letter
Has its unwritten response
In your mailbox - again and again.
An empty extended hand
Returning limply alone to your side.
The blank answer creating words
That circle you like crows
Drawn to animals rejected by cars.
A resounding echo that repeatedly
Asks you what you had asked.
